This is mostly a warning to Linux users. The Linux version is absolute garbage, just like Garou's Linux version. It plays at about 150% speed, has even fewer options than the Windows version, there's zero gamepad support, the keyboard controls aren't remappable and the ones indicated don't actually work, the sounds aren't in sync with the graphics, there are no modes other than the basic arcade mode. I remember the Windows version working fine, but even that version doesn't work all that well on Linux. I got some audio lag and some crazy stuttering in the menus. Garou and Last Blade 2 I got working fine, but I'd recommend Linux users stay away from this one.
As I was looking at my games library, I saw that this game has a Linux version. Holy feces is it bad. It plays at about 150% speed, has even fewer options than the Windows version, there's zero gamepad support, the keyboard controls aren't remappable and the ones indicated don't actually work, the sounds aren't in sync with the graphics, there are no modes other than the basic arcade mode. It's absolute garbage. Anyway, the Windows version is fine, though controller support may be iffy if you can't get it working inside Steam. It seems a bit hit or miss on Linux, but I got it working pretty quickly. Quick FYI, The Last Blade's linux version is equally bad.
I don't really mind bad ports. Nier:Automata was still 10/10 for me on launch even without F.A.R. Bayonetta on PS3 was okay, sure some levels were hard to play, but it was still fine. Good ol' FF7 for PC (circa 1998) was pretty broken, but I still liked it. It's fine, they're fine. This is not fine. I couldn't get it to work at a reasonable speed unless I turned off V-Sync, which resulted is INSANE screen tearing. Ryu's pants were about 15 meters away from his torso. It was literally unplayable. And I don't mean literally as figuratively, I mean literally as literally. And that's when the game didn't crash on start. Really, just get an emulator, this port is bad and Capcom should feel bad.
